Except as provided in section 4-A, this code shall become effective May 1, 1976, and it shall apply only to crimes committed subsequent to its effective date. Prosecution for crimes repealed by this code, which are committed prior to the effective date shall be governed by the prior law which is continued in effect for that purpose as if this code were not in force; provided that in any such prosecution the court may, with the consent of the defendant, impose sentence under the provisions of the code. In such cases, the sentencing authority of the court is determined by the application to the prior law of section 4-A, subsection 3, which became effective for this purpose May 1, For purposes of this section, a crime was committed subsequent to the effective date if all of the elements of the crime occurred on or after that date; a crime was not committed subsequent to the effective date if any element thereof occurred prior to that date, or if the evidence may reasonably be interpreted to establish that any element may have occurred prior to that date.

TERRITORIAL APPLICABILITY 1. Except as otherwise provided in this section, a person may be convicted under the laws of this State for any crime committed by the person's own conduct or by the conduct of another for which the person is legally accountable only if: A. Either the conduct that is an element of the crime or the result that is such an element occurs within this State or has a territorial relationship to this State; [2007, c. 173, 4 (AMD).] B. Conduct occurring outside this State constitutes an attempt to commit a crime under the laws of this State and the intent is that the crime take place within this State; [1975, c. 499, 1 (NEW).] Pleading and proof
11 Chapter 1: PRELIMINARY C. Conduct occurring outside this State would constitute a criminal conspiracy under the laws of this State, an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy occurs within this State or has a territorial relationship to this State, and the object of the conspiracy is that a crime take place within this State; [1979, c. 512, 16 (AMD).] D. Conduct occurring within this State or having a territorial relationship to this State would constitute complicity in the commission of, or an attempt, solicitation or conspiracy to commit an offense in another jurisdiction that is also a crime under the law of this State; [2007, c. 173, 4 (AMD).] E. The crime consists of the omission to perform a duty imposed on a person by the law of this State, regardless of where that person is when the omission occurs; [2007, c. 173, 4 (AMD).] F. The crime is based on a statute of this State that expressly prohibits conduct outside the State, when the person knows or should know that the person's conduct affects an interest of the State protected by that statute; or [2007, c. 173, 4 (AMD).] G. Jurisdiction is otherwise provided by law. [1975, c. 499, 1 (NEW).] [ 2007, c. 173, 4 (AMD).] 2. Subsection 1, paragraph A does not apply if: A. Causing a particular result or danger of causing that result is an element and the result occurs or is designed or likely to occur only in another jurisdiction where the conduct charged would not constitute an offense; or [1975, c. 499, 1 (NEW).] B. Causing a particular result is an element of the crime and the result is caused by conduct occurring outside the State which would not constitute an offense if the result had occurred there. [1975, c. 499, 1 (NEW).] 3. When the crime is homicide, a person may be convicted under the laws of this State if either the death of the victim or the bodily impact causing death occurred within the State or had a territorial relationship to the State. Proof that the body of a homicide victim is found within this State gives rise to a permissible inference under the Maine Rules of Evidence, Rule 303 that such death or impact occurred within the State. When the crime is theft, a person may be convicted under the laws of this State if that person obtained property of another, as defined in chapter 15, section 352, outside of this State and brought the property into the State. [ 2001, c. 383, 2 (AMD); 2001, c. 383, 156 (AFF).] 4. Conduct or a result has a territorial relationship to this State if it is not possible to determine beyond a reasonable doubt that it occurred inside or outside of this State, because a boundary cannot be precisely located or the location of any person cannot be precisely established in relation to a boundary, and if the court determines that this State has a substantial interest in prohibiting the conduct or result. In determining whether this State has a substantial interest, the court shall consider the following factors: A. The relationship to this State of the actor or actors and of persons affected by the conduct or result, whether as citizens, residents or visitors; [1979, c. 512, 19 (NEW).] B. The location of the actor or actors and persons affected by the conduct or result prior to and after the conduct or result; [1979, c. 512, 19 (NEW).] C. The place in which other crimes, if any, in the same criminal episode were committed; and [1981, c. 470, Pt. A, 36 (AMD).] 7. Territorial applicability 11
12 Chapter 1: PRELIMINARY MRS Title 17-A: MAINE CRIMINAL CODE D. The place in which the intent to commit the crime was formed. [1979, c. 512, 19 (NEW).] [ 1981, c. 470, Pt. A, 36 (AMD).] 5.

Any crime based upon breach of fiduciary obligation, within one year after discovery of the crime by an aggrieved party or by a person who has a legal duty to represent an aggrieved party, and who is not a party to the crime, whichever occurs first; [2007, c. 173, 5 (AMD).] B. Any crime based upon official misconduct by a public servant, at any time when such person is in public office or employment or within 2 years thereafter. [1975, c. 499, 1 (NEW).] C. This subsection shall in no event extend the limitation period otherwise applicable by more than 5 years. [1975, c. 499, 1 (NEW).] [ 2007, c. 173, 5 (AMD).] 6. For purposes of this section: A. A crime is committed when every element thereof has occurred, or if the crime consists of a continuing course of conduct, at the time when the course of conduct or the defendant's complicity therein is terminated; and [1975, c. 499, 1 (NEW).] B. A prosecution is commenced whenever one of the following occurs: (1) A criminal complaint is filed; (2) An indictment is returned; or (3) Following waiver of an indictment, an information is filed. [1987, c. 222, 4 (RPR).] [ 1987, c. 222, 4 (AMD).] 7. The defense established by this section shall not bar a conviction of a crime included in the crime charged, notwithstanding that the period of limitation has expired for the included crime, if as to the crime charged the period of limitation has not expired or there is no such period, and there is evidence which would sustain a conviction for the crime charged. 1975, c. 499, 1 (NEW). 1977, c. 510, 18 (AMD). 1981, c. 317, 4 (AMD). 1981, c. 470, A37-A38 (AMD). 1987, c. 222, 3, 4 (AMD). 1991, c. 585, 1, 2 (AMD). 1999, c. 438, 1, 2 (AMD). 2007, c. 173, 5 (AMD). 2013, c. 392, 1, 2 (AMD). 9. Indictment and jurisdiction 13
14 Chapter 1: PRELIMINARY MRS Title 17-A: MAINE CRIMINAL CODE 9. INDICTMENT AND JURISDICTION Notwithstanding any other provision of law: [1975, c. 499, 1 (NEW).] 1. All proceedings for Class A, B and C crimes must be prosecuted by indictment, unless indictment is waived, in which case prosecution must be as the Supreme Judicial Court provides by rule; [ 1997, c. 4, 2 (AMD).] 2. All proceedings for murder shall be prosecuted by indictment; and [ 1977, c. 510, 19 (AMD).] 3. The District Courts have jurisdiction to try civil violations and Class D and E crimes and to impose sentence in Class A, B and C crimes in which the District Court has accepted a plea of guilty. [ 2005, c. 326, 2 (AMD); 2005, c. 326, 5 (AFF).] 1975, c. 499, 1 (NEW). 1975, c. 740, 17 (AMD). 1977, c. 510, 19 (AMD). 1997, c. 4, 2 (AMD). 2005, c. 326, 2 (AMD). 2005, c. 326, 5 (AFF). 9-A. ALLEGATION OF PRIOR CONVICTION WHEN SENTENCE ENHANCED 1. Except as otherwise provided by law, a prior conviction must be specially alleged if the sentencing provision of a crime requires that a present sentence be enhanced because the person has been previously convicted of a specified crime. For the purpose of this section, a sentence is enhanced only if the maximum sentence that may be imposed is increased or a mandatory minimum nonsuspendable sentence must be imposed. The Supreme Judicial Court shall provide by rule the manner of alleging the prior conviction in a charging instrument and conditions for using that prior conviction at trial. [ 1999, c. 196, 2 (NEW).] 2. Proof that the name and date of birth of the person charged with the current principal offense are the same as those of the person who has been convicted of the prior offense gives rise to a permissible inference under the Maine Rules of Evidence, Rule 303 that the person charged with the current principal offense is the same person as that person convicted of the prior offense. [ 2001, c. 383, 3 (AMD); 2001, c. 383, 156 (AFF).] 3. Prior convictions may be considered for purposes of enhancing a present sentence if the date of each prior conviction precedes the commission of the offense being enhanced by no more than 10 years, except as otherwise provided by law. More than one prior conviction may have occurred on the same day. The date of conviction is deemed to be the date that the sentence is imposed, even though an appeal was taken. [ 2001, c. 383, 4 (NEW); 2001, c. 383, 156 (AFF).] 14 9-A. Allegation of prior conviction when sentence enhanced
15 Chapter 1: PRELIMINARY 4. Proof of the date stated in a complaint, information, indictment or other formal charging instrument gives rise to a permissible inference under the Maine Rules of Evidence, Rule 303 that such a date is the date the offense was committed, notwithstanding the use of the words "on or about" or the equivalent. The convictions of 2 or more prior offenses that were committed within a 3-day period are considered a single conviction for purposes of this section. [ 2001, c. 383, 4 (NEW); 2001, c. 383, 156 (AFF).] 1999, c. 196, 2 (NEW). 2001, c. 383, 3,4 (AMD). 2001, c. 383, 156 (AFF). 10.

A criminal proceeding may not be commenced against any person who had not attained 18 years of age at the time of the alleged crime, except as the result of a finding of probable cause authorized by Title 15, section 3101, subsection 4, or in regard to the offenses over which juvenile courts have no jurisdiction, as provided in Title 15, section 3101, subsection 2. [ 2007, c. 173, 6 (AMD).] 2. When it appears that the defendant's age, at the time the crime charged was committed, may have been such that the court lacks jurisdiction by reason stated in subsection 1, the court shall hold a hearing on the matter and the burden shall be on the State to establish the court's jurisdiction, as defined by subsection 1, by a preponderance of the evidence. [ 1981, c. 324, 12 (NEW).] 1981, c. 324, 12 (NEW). 2007, c. 173, 6 (AMD). 11.

DE MINIMIS INFRACTIONS 1. The court may dismiss a prosecution if, upon notice to or motion of the prosecutor and opportunity to be heard, having regard to the nature of the conduct alleged and the nature of the attendant circumstances, it finds the defendant's conduct: 10. Definitions of culpable states of mind 15
16 Chapter 1: PRELIMINARY MRS Title 17-A: MAINE CRIMINAL CODE A. Was within a customary license or tolerance, which was not expressly refused by the person whose interest was infringed and which is not inconsistent with the purpose of the law defining the crime; or [1975, c. 499, 1 (NEW).] B. Did not actually cause or threaten the harm sought to be prevented by the law defining the crime or did so only to an extent too trivial to warrant the condemnation of conviction; or [1975, c. 499, 1 (NEW).] C. Presents such other extenuations that it cannot reasonably be regarded as envisaged by the Legislature in defining the crime. [1975, c. 499, 1 (NEW).] 2. The court shall not dismiss a prosecution under this section without filing a written statement of its reasons. 1975, c. 499, 1 (NEW). 13. OTHER OFFENSES 1. The existence of a crime other than the one charged, but based on the same conduct or arising from the same criminal episode, for which a person may be prosecuted, whether that crime is a lesser or greater crime as to elements or sentencing classification, shall not preclude prosecution for the offense charged unless a contrary legislative intent plainly appears. [ 1975, c. 740, 20 (NEW).] 2. [ 1979, c. 512, 20 (RP).] 1975, c. 499, 1 (NEW). 1975, c. 740, 20 (RPR). 1979, c. 512, 20 (AMD). 13-A. INCLUDED OFFENSES 1. The court shall not instruct the jury to consider, nor shall the court as factfinder consider, a lesser included offense, as defined in subsection 2, unless on the basis of the evidence there is a rational basis for finding the defendant guilty of that lesser included offense. If a rational basis exists, the lesser included offense shall be considered by the factfinder if requested by either the State or defendant; otherwise, its consideration shall be a matter within the discretion of the court. [ 1979, c. 512, 21 (NEW).] 2. For purposes of this section, a lesser included offense is an offense carrying a lesser penalty which: A. As legally defined, must necessarily be committed when the offense or alternative thereof actually charged, as legally defined, is committed. If the lesser offense is defined in a manner that it may be committed in alternative ways, each alternative which meets the above definition shall be deemed to be a lesser included offense. Facts which are a basis for sentencing classification of either the crime charged or the lesser crime shall be considered alternatives of those crimes; [1979, c. 512, 21 (NEW).] Other offenses
17 Chapter 1: PRELIMINARY B. Meets the requirements of paragraph A, except that a culpable state of mind is required which is different than that charged but which results in lesser criminal liability; or [1979, c. 512, 21 (NEW).] C. Is by statute expressly declared to be charged when the greater offense is charged. [1979, c. 512, 21 (NEW).] [ 1979, c. 512, 21 (NEW).] 3. The court in its discretion may instruct the jury to consider, or may as factfinder consider, any other offense or another alternative of the offense charged, although that other offense or alternative is not a lesser included offense, if: A. On the basis of the evidence, there is a rational basis for finding the defendant guilty of the other offense; [1979, c. 512, 21 (NEW).] B. The other offense does not carry a greater penalty than the offense charged; [1979, c. 512, 21 (NEW).] C. Both the State and the defendant consent to the consideration of the other offenses by the factfinder; and [1979, c. 512, 21 (NEW).] D. The defendant waives any applicable right to an indictment for the other offense. [1979, c. 512, 21 (NEW).] When the other offense is defined in such a manner that it may be committed in alternative ways, the court may instruct the jury to consider, or may as factfinder consider, any alternative which meets the requirements of this subsection. [ 1979, c. 512, 21 (NEW).] 1979, c. 512, 21 (NEW). 14. SEPARATE TRIALS A defendant shall not be subject to separate trials for multiple offenses based on the same conduct or arising from the same criminal episode, if such offenses were known to the appropriate prosecuting officer at the time of the commencement of the first trial and were within the jurisdiction of the same court and within the same venue, unless the court, on application of the prosecuting attorney or of the defendant or on its own motion, orders any such charge to be tried separately if it is satisfied that justice so requires. [1975, c. 740, 21 (AMD).] 1975, c. 499, 1 (NEW). 1975, c. 740, 21 (AMD). 15. WARRANTLESS ARRESTS BY A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER 1.

A, 12 (AMD). 2017, c. 148, 3 (AMD). 15-A. ISSUANCE OF SUMMONS FOR CRIMINAL OFFENSE 1. A law enforcement officer who has probable cause to believe a crime has been or is being committed by a person may issue or have delivered a written summons to that person directing that person to appear in the appropriate trial court to answer the allegation that the person has committed the crime. The summons must include the signature of the officer, a brief description of the alleged crime, the time and place of the alleged crime and the time, place and date the person is to appear in court. The form used must be the Uniform Summons and Complaint. A person to whom a summons is issued or delivered must give a written promise to appear. If the person refuses to sign the summons after having been ordered to do so by a law enforcement officer, the person commits a Class E crime. As soon as practicable after service of the summons, the officer shall cause a copy of the summons to be filed with the court. [ 2005, c. 326, 3 (AMD); 2005, c. 326, 5 (AFF).] 2. Any person who a law enforcement officer has probable cause to believe has committed or is committing a crime other than one listed under section 15, subsection 1, paragraph A, and to whom a law enforcement officer is authorized to deliver a summons pursuant to subsection 1, who intentionally fails or refuses to provide to that officer reasonably credible evidence of that person's correct name, address or date of birth commits a Class E crime, if the person persists in the failure or refusal after having been informed by the officer of the provisions of this subsection. If that person furnishes the officer evidence of the person's correct name, address and date of birth and the evidence does not appear to be reasonably credible, the officer shall attempt to verify the evidence as quickly as is reasonably possible. During the period the verification is being attempted, the officer may require the person to remain in the officer's presence for a period not to 15-A. Issuance of summons for criminal offense 19
20 Chapter 1: PRELIMINARY MRS Title 17-A: MAINE CRIMINAL CODE exceed 2 hours. During this period, if the officer reasonably believes that the officer's safety or the safety of others present requires, the officer may search for any dangerous weapon by an external patting of that person's outer clothing. If in the course of the search the officer feels an object that the officer reasonably believes to be a dangerous weapon, the officer may take such action as is necessary to examine the object, but may take permanent possession of the object only if it is subject to forfeiture. The requirement that the person remain in the presence of the officer does not constitute an arrest. After informing that person of the provisions of this subsection, the officer may arrest the person either if the person intentionally refuses to furnish any evidence of that person's correct name, address or date of birth or if, after attempting to verify the evidence as provided for in this subsection, the officer has probable cause to believe that the person has intentionally failed to provide reasonably credible evidence of the person's correct name, address or date of birth. [ 2003, c. 657, 2 (AMD).] 3. If, at any time subsequent to an arrest made pursuant to subsection 2, it appears that the evidence of the person's correct name, address and date of birth was accurate, the person must be released from custody and any record of that custody must show that the person was released for that reason. If, upon trial for violating subsection 2, a person is acquitted on the ground that the evidence of the person's correct name, address and date of birth was accurate, the record of acquittal must show that that was the ground. [ 2003, c. 657, 2 (AMD).] 4. Any person who fails to appear in court as directed by a summons served on that person pursuant to subsection 1 or to otherwise respond in accordance with law on or before the date specified in the summons commits a Class E crime. Upon that person's failure to appear or respond, the court may issue a warrant of arrest. It is an affirmative defense to prosecution under this subsection that the failure to appear or respond resulted from just cause. [ 1991, c. 459, 4 (AMD).] 1987, c. 375, (NEW). 1991, c. 459, 4 (AMD). 2003, c. 657, 2 (AMD). 2005, c. 326, 3 (AMD). 2005, c. 326, 5 (AFF). 16. WARRANTLESS ARRESTS BY A PRIVATE PERSON Except as otherwise specifically provided, a private person has the authority to arrest without a warrant: [2007, c. 173, 7 (AMD).] 1. Any person who the private person has probable cause to believe has committed or is committing: A. Murder; or [1977, c. 510, 25 (RPR).] B. Any Class A, Class B or Class C crime. [1975, c. 740, 22 (NEW).] [ 2007, c. 173, 7 (AMD).] 2. Any person who, in fact, is committing in the private person's presence and in a public place any of the Class D or Class E crimes described in section 207; 209; 211; 254; 255-A; 501-A, subsection 1, paragraph B; 503; 751; 806; or A. [2007, c. 466, Pt. B, 12 (AFF); 2007, c. 466, Pt. B, 11 (RP).] [ 2007, c. 518, 5 (AMD).] Warrantless arrests by a private person

B, 12 (AFF). 2007, c. 518, 5 (AMD). 17. ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL VIOLATIONS 1. A law enforcement officer who has probable cause to believe that a civil violation has been committed by a person must issue or have delivered a written summons to that person directing the person to appear in the District Court to answer the allegation that the person has committed the violation. The summons must include the signature of the officer, a brief description of the alleged violation, the time and place of the alleged violation and the time, place and date the person is to appear in court. The form used must be the Violation Summons and Complaint, as prescribed in Title 29-A, section 2601, for traffic infractions and the Uniform Summons and Complaint for other civil violations. A person to whom a summons is issued or delivered must give a written promise to appear. If the person refuses to sign the summons after having been ordered to do so by a law enforcement officer, the person commits a Class E crime. The law enforcement officer may not order a person to sign the summons for a civil violation unless the civil violation is an offense defined in Title 12; Title 23, section 1980; Title 28-A, section 2052; or Title 29-A. Every law enforcement officer issuing a Violation Summons and Complaint charging the commission of a traffic infraction shall file the original of the Violation Summons and Complaint with the violations bureau within 5 days of the issuance of that Violation Summons and Complaint. Every law enforcement officer issuing a Uniform Summons and Complaint that charges the commission of an offense shall file the original of the Uniform Summons and Complaint with the District Court having jurisdiction over the offense or in such other location as instructed by the Chief Judge of the District Court without undue delay and, in any event, within 5 days after the issuance of the Uniform Summons and Complaint. [ 2003, c. 657, 3 (AMD).] 2. Any person to whom a law enforcement officer is authorized to issue or deliver a summons pursuant to subsection 1 who intentionally fails or refuses to provide the officer reasonably credible evidence of the person's correct name, address or date of birth commits a Class E crime, if the person persists in that failure or refusal after having been informed by the officer of the provisions of this subsection. If the person furnishes the officer evidence of that person's correct name, address and date of birth and the evidence does not appear to be reasonably credible, the officer shall attempt to verify the evidence as quickly as is reasonably possible. During the period that verification is being attempted, the officer may require the person to remain in the officer's presence for a period not to exceed 2 hours. During this period, if the officer reasonably believes that the officer's safety or the safety of others present requires, the officer may search for any dangerous weapon by an external patting of the person's outer clothing. If in the course of the search the officer feels an object that the officer reasonably believes to be a dangerous weapon, the officer may take such action as is necessary to examine the object, but may take permanent possession of the object only if it is subject to forfeiture. The requirement that the person remain in the presence of the officer does not constitute an arrest. 17. Enforcement of civil violations 21
